How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?
Jasmine doesn’t say that she loves someone without meaning it. It’s hard for her to say this, especially if it’s not her immediate family. She doesn’t pass the words around lightly.
What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
Jasmine loves her father, but doesn’t see eye to eye with him about things. After her mother died, her father grew very protective of her, leaving little to the imagination. She had to follow strict rules, while her father tried to keep his eyes on her at all times. Running the family hotel and motel business was stressful, while raising a daughter, but he made it work. She felt too sheltered though and has always wanted to branch away from that, being able to make her own decisions, experiencing life a little differently. She’s still finding her way in college, but has many ideas now for her family’s future.
Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
Jasmine’s an only child. Her closest friends growing up were her cats. Her first cat belonged to her mother, which holds a special place in her heart. She never takes her feline friends for granted.
Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
The Samaha hotels and motels are usually visited by the wealthy due to the high prices. Jasmine realized as a teenager that not everyone was as fortunate as she was, having grown up around the wealthy. She left her home once to encounter a homeless person, which she donated some of her allowance to, trying to help him and his dog. Realizing that there’s people that don’t even have a roof to sleep under, she more than ever wants to try and fix that. Her father wants her to take over the family business, but if she does, she’s determined to make things more affordable and advertise to more charities.
Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?
If Jasmine has a nightmare, it’s usually about her mother’s death. She doesn’t like to think about it or talk about it to just anyone. They were very close.
What does your character like in other people?
Jasmine likes kind and considerate people. She tries to judge people on their personality, instead of looks. She tries to keep her friends happy, and if you’re an animal lover it’s even better.
Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?
Jasmine admires wisdom and ambition. If she had to choose one, it might be ambition, because even if the person didn’t get the best grades or seemed the smartest, she likes to know that they’re at least trying their best.
